Flashback: Gabuza leaves pitch after celebrating Pirates’ goal

Flashback to when former Orlando Pirates striker Thamsanqa Gabuza dramatically walked off the field of play after celebrating the Buccaneers opening goal against Black Leopards.

The 31-year-old striker has recently been the subject of much criticism from the Pirates supporters due to his misfiring, most notably after their 1-0 defeat to Bloemfontein Celtic in the previous Absa Premiership encounter.

However, he somewhat redeemed himself after his cross into the box was deflected into the Leopards net by Thivhavhudzi Ndou to hand the Buccaneers the lead after 33 minutes.

What happened next shocked many, Gabuza then celebrated the goal by taking off his jersey and throwing it to crowd before walking into the tunnel.

The Buccaneers were forced to play the remaining minutes of the first half with 10 men as the veteran striker did not return to the pitch.
